Just wanted to say ‘kudos’ for the post concerning the present state of your ‘political’ worldview… that last line really hit me. Having just gone through a period where politics became somewhat of an undue focus, my mindframe became noticeably morbid and despairing, until I finally conceded that there is no ‘political’ answer; The Giver and Nourisher of our life is the only guarantor of true freedom, true peace. The extent to which we seek answers in a political context, is the extent to which we pursue and become the pursuit of phantasms, which deaden the nous and draw us away from the path of life. Thanks for the reminder- ‘may paradise consume you!’
